Wonder what spacing they use to calculate the image square.

I expect that the field of view would be nominally calculated from the full-frame equivalent field of view of that optical setup,
without regard to any changes spacing may result in.
1. ED80 is an 80mm aperture f/7.5= 600mm focal length
2. The SCT f6.3 reducer
may be equivalent to a 0.63x reducer (assuming it doesn't vignette the frame)
3. The Canon EOS 1100D has a 1.6x FOV crop factor.
Taking that in to account the field of view of your setup should be equivalent to the field of view of a 600 x 0.63 x 1.6 = 605mm focal length on a Full frame senor, which has a ~3.4 x 2.3 degree field of view.
Or not....
